Sorry just for clarification, does this mean it is being submitted for approval review or it has been approved?
If you click on the link, the "application status" line says "application submitted". I think "Site Plan Approval" is the name of the process, not an actual indication that the project has been approved. Could be wrong.

With a similarly tall Festival Tower to the immediate southwest of this site there is every reason to believe that this application will be granted similar height.

Yeah..just an application, expect before approval that this project will be chopped by 7-10 floors as usual.![]()
There is no "as usual" 7 to 10 floor chop made to proposed buildings in this city: applications are considered based on their context. With a similarly tall Festival Tower to the immediate southwest of this site there is every reason to believe that this application will be granted similar height.

One would want to think so, but it just wont happen.
For consideration by Toronto and East York Community Council on Sept 15/09:
This application proposes a 43-storey mixed use building at 21-31 Widmer St.& 299 Adelaide Street West, with approximately 430 residential units and approximately 1,300 square metres of non-residential space, including retail and community/ performance space.
<snip>
It is consistent with the emerging built form study in that it is located within an area that can accommodate tall buildings without destabilizing the warehouse built form character of the area. The proposal generally meets the intent of the 2006 King Spadina Urban Design Guidelines, and the Tall Building Guidelines.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.

AG, I'm not stringing these things together for the sake of saying 'I told you so'... oh hell, yeah, I suppose I am.
Just glad it's passing that hurdle!
